They describe the collaborative, worshipful environment of the committee, where men and women scholars work together as respected peers in translating Scripture. Lynn and Michelle explain how they refine the NLT to stay both faithful to the original Hebrew and Greek and accessible to modern readers, discussing examples like “scoundrel,” “Levite,” “guest room,” and Hannah’s deep emotional language in 1 Samuel. They also highlight the historical precedent of women contributing to biblical translation, such as Jerome’s collaborators Paula and Marcella, and reflect on how their committee embodies a vision of gender mutuality in service to the church.
